Daniel Cormier has won all 15 of his mixed martial arts fights, so its not really surprising that hes confident heading into his 16th contest, a grudge match with light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones that will headline UFC 182 on Saturday. The undefeated fighter has not even allowed the concept of losing for the first time to enter his mind. I havent thought of that (losing) for a second, I wont even accept that as my reality, said Cormier during Mondays pre-fight conference call that also featured his opponent Jon Jones. You prepare for adversity, but how do you prepare yourself to get knocked down or stuck in a submission. You have to stay positive in your training when you are preparing for something so big. TSN kicks off its UFC coverage on Saturday with COUNTDOWN TO UFC 182: JONES VS. CORMIER at 7pm et/4pm pt on TSN4 and TSN5. The countdown show leads into two hours of UFC 182 preliminary fight coverage at 8pm et/5pm pt. The conference call was the calmest public conversation between the two combatants, following a brawl that broke out at the MGM Grand during the media day for UFC 178 on August 4th and an off-broadcast conversation that was caught live on mic during a joint interview on ESPN SportsCenter. For Cormier, the intensity remains, but the theatrics are over. I dont think the heat between us has gone anywhere, just whats the point of the two of us yelling and screaming at each other, said Cormier. All the arguing, all the yelling, all the name-calling, it motivated me during my training. Whats the point in it anymore? It serves no more purpose. Many have pinned Jones as the villain and Cormier on the good side of the verbal spat that took place between the two fighters, but the undefeated light-heavyweight takes responsibility for his actions and isnt upset about the way the footage has been used to promote the upcoming bout. The crazy thing is when you look at that video how am I painted in a bright light for the things that Im saying, said Cormier. Im not upset about it; they can only use the stuff that we said. If I didnt say it or do it, they couldnt use it. When you do things, there is a consequence to every action and my action was being petty and they used it. Its got people excited, people want to watch this fight and thats a big deal. When it comes to in-fight strategy, the 35-year-old fighter is ready to go where ever the bout takes him and thinks he can be successful in any fashion. There is no one way for anyone to win a fight, I think people are getting very narrow minded in terms of how this fight can play out, how one guy has to win, said Cormier. There is no set way in how I have to win this fight. If I dont secure takedowns it doesnt mean I cant win this fight. I think we need to look at it a little broader, instead of being narrow minded. As far as how the Lafayette, Louisiana native plans to overcome the man ranked as the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world and finally claim the gold, Cormier is planning to use his skills and look within. I think it boils down to belief, belief that this can be done, said Cormier. A lot of the time people dont believe when they are staring at a hill or a mountain that seems like it cant be climbed, its belief. Believing in yourself, your skills, your team, believing in everything youve done to this point, believing that its all enough. Cormier will also enter the fight with a healthy amount of respect for the ability of his opponent, despite the bad blood that has been apparent between them. I like a lot of his abilities, I like his creativeness inside the octagon and confidence in himself, said Cormier. Anytime a person wins as many fights as he has in a row they deserve a lot of respect and at the level hes won, its hard not to almost admire that to a degree. There are a number of things I like about him inside the cage. Originally scheduled to fight at UFC 178 as an injury replacement for Alexander Gustafsson, the bout was pushed back due to an injury to Jones, which Cormier believes only aides in his quest to win the belt. I believe it helped me, anytime you get a UFC title fight you dont want it on short notice. Cormier will finally get his crack at the light-heavyweight champion when he meets Jon Jones in the main event of UFC 182 on Saturday. Washington Redskins Jerseys .

First reported by FOX Sports Ken Rosenthal, its unknown if the impetus for the deferral proposal came from players or management, but it never left the preliminary stages. Rosenthal says that a pair of agents had heard word of the plan, but that they were never approached by Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos. Santana turned down a one-year, $14 million offer from the Jays and signed with the Atlanta Braves on the same deal after the Braves lost Kris Medlen for the season with Tommy John surgery. Whether or not the actual deferral proposal would fly in practice is another discussion altogether, as there would likely have been significant hurdles from the MLBPA, who is normally loath to allow its players to concede any sort of contractual edge without commensurate compensation. "I never took it that seriously," an agent told Rosenthal. "No way it would have ever passed the (union) unless there was some gain for the players who did that." In an interview with Matt Galloway on CBCs Metro Morning, Blue Jays president and CEO Paul Beeston confirmed that such discussions took place, but maintained that payroll was there if needed. "There was discussion about that and, to be very honest with you, I think, had it gone that way, it would have been fine, but we are at $140 million [in payroll] right now," said Beeston. "The one thing that we do have is a very generous owner from the point of view of what they have committed to try to build the team. I think that the Rogers people, more importantly [former Rogers Communications CEO] Nadir [Mohamed] last year and carried on this year with [current CEO] Guy Laurence and the Rogers family, have given us the dollars weve wanted, that we need to put a contending team on the field. Its up to us to bring them together." For his part, Anthopoulos believed the deal was done. He would not, however, get into the specifics of how the pact would have been structured. "The takeaway for me is we felt that we had an agreement in place," Anthopoulos told reporters prior to teh Jays Friday home opener. "He was prepared to come here. We had the dollars. How we chooose to structure those dollars, those are things that we keep in house.dddddddddddd "But I believe if Kris Medlen had not been hurt, Ervin Santana would be here today." Not that Anthopoulos was about to hold that against the 31-year-old. "He had a lot more interest going into the NL, which is his right," he said. When pressed on whether or not the teams spending was capped, Beeston insisted that it wasnt. "Were a business, so the answer to that is that we have a budget," said Beeston. "Its not a cap. If we can increase our revenue, we can increase our expenses, but we run it as a business." With the Jays only signing catcher Dioner Navarro during the offseason, Beeston said that free agency is not the only avenue to improve his team and that trades could be made over the course of the season. "You have to organize it in manner that you might have to make some trades," Beeston explained. "You may have to look at different ways of bringing your players along, but I dont think from the point of view of money, money is our problem. One of the issues that we have is that we had to build our farm system up and we have done that over the last three or four years, but its not like hockey or basketball, where you come right out of the colleges or out of the minor leagues and move right into the Majors. So some of the pitchers that we have down there like [Marcus] Stroman and [Aaron] Sanchez, theyre just ready to come, but those are the guys that you will want to have introduced into your organization because they have to play three or four years before they make the big dollars. So you need a mixture of the players who are at the minimum, as well as your stars. But you dont win without stars." While Beeston acknowledged that teams can win with smalled budgets, free-spending teams are the ones most likely to find success. "Lets be realistic about it," said Beeston. "You can do it, but youre gonna get lucky and have everybody pop at the same time. Ultimately, teams like the Dodgers and the Yankees and Boston, that are spending all kinds of money, are basically the teams that have star players at every position." The Jays open a three-game set with the New York Yankees on Friday night at the Rogers Centre.
